Question

If α and β are the zeros of the quadratic polynomial f(x) = ax2 + bx + c, then evaluate α4 + β4 

Advertisements

Solution

f(x) = ax2 + bx + c

α + β = `(-b/a)`

αβ = `c/a`

since α + β are the roots (or) zeroes of the given polynomials

then

α4 + β= (α2 + β2)2 -2α2 + β2

= ((α + β)2 - 2αβ)2 - 2(αβ)2

`=[(-b/a)^2-2c/a]^2-[2(c/a)^2]`

`=[(b^2-2ac)/a^2]^2-(2c^2)/a^2`

`=((b^2"2ac")^2-2a^2c^2)/a^4`
